Hi @caro-art, that looks so beautiful, the effect of flow and the flowers in centre with such fine details. You mentioned that it is alcohol ink, how do you do it. Have you done a painting with ink first and then added alcohol?

Thank you. No, different inks (which are alcohol-based) are squirted directly on the paper and then moved around by blowing air on them with different implements, e.g. straws, airbrushes, or a hair blower. The ink dries at different rates, creating lines here and there, and mixing in other spots, moving quickly with a whispy appearance. On occasion, the ink is re-liquified with pure alcohol and blown around again, until the desired result is reached.
Wow, that sounds a lot of fun and the incidental surprises. Maybe that is good to let it go without planned drawing. Thank you for your feedback
